Texting In The Classroom: Encourage the use of a cell phone and turn that divertissement into an educational tool by using these techniques.
Jamie Fulcher's curator insight, February 9, 2015 3:51 PM

One of my fav's is poll everywhere. I like to use it in the first class with a new group of learners to capture their course learning goals/ motivations etc. This can be generated into a word cloud that I post in my first weekly forum. enjoy.

 

pros:

free for basic

generate a slide to insert in your presentation

one click to generate a word cloud

 

Cons:

allocate extra time in your session plan the first time you use it with a new group

learners need access to a hand-held device to participate
